Description
The hart of the CRC cylinders is a specially manufactured amorphous plastic reference material (5). (See Figure 1). Contrary to other plastics, this material does not have any directionally dependent thermal properties. In the plastic material a hole is drilled (4), with the approximate outer dimensions (ND Needle Diameter and IL Insertion Length) of the needle that needs to be calibrated.
